The Poi tracker was added an is only meant for language specific bugs 
and enhancements. The i18n component of the Plone tracker is meant for 
all general i18n bugs.

Please don't! That would cause everyone to get mail for every ticket. 
But the German people are only interested in issues specific to the 
German translation (which might also be written in German) and the same 
is true for every other language. Getting a Russian mail for a bug in 
the Russian translation is only spam for me.

The tracker was specifically requested by some people but hasn't seen 
much widespread use. It can stay as an opt-in for those translators who 
want an issue tracker (afaik most don't want to have one at all). What 
is more useful and should be the first information you see as a contact 
point is the list at 
http://plone.org/development/teams/i18n/existing-translations which 
points you to the translators for each language.
